Abstract: An electrical connector that includes a housing with a connector interface disposed between first and second ends of the housing. A bottom portion of the housing has a printed circuit board engaging surface. The first end of the housing includes a first hole adapted to receive a first fastener and the second end includes a first bore adapted to receive a second fastener. A removable cover is coupled to the rear portion of the housing. The cover includes an extension extending into a rear portion of the housing. The electrical connector is mountable to a second substantially identical connector on an opposite side of a printed circuit board.

Abstract: The connector of the present invention includes a housing, an electrical contact insert and a wire holding block. The housing holds the insert and holding block in a first and second position. In the first position, the insert and holding block are positioned inside the housing, with the holding block being disengaged from the insert. An electrical cable with exposed wire leads is inserted into the holding block and the two are then pushed inward into the housing from the first position to the second position. In the second position, the wire leads of the electrical cable are engaged with rear metal contacts on the insert to electrically engage the cable with the connector.
